Gambling companies have been dealing with advertising bans for years, it won't have been any surprise to them.

This home kit is so nice. When was the last time the colour was this good? The shade of claret is just perfect.
The Luke Roper kit , the claret was perfect

The Acorns logo looked great too. How have we managed to get a different front of shirt sponsor on last night’s kit?

Betting sponsors are banned for UEFA competitions aren’t they?
Yes, they are banned.

We made the same change at least once last season in the Europa Conf. League (LOSC) as there is a ban on gambling and, I think, booze brands in France.

I believe the club raffled the shirts used and donated the money to Acorns, proving they can get things right off the pitch, sometimes. ;)

It depends on the country the game's being played in, Celtic are wearing shirts with 'Dafabet' on them tonight.

I’m personally happy to have Acorns too, but in these PSR dominated days I would have thought a lot of extra income could be generated from a shirt sponsor getting Champions League coverage.

Betano donated that space to us and we donated it to Acorns

Pretty sure the ones worn last season in the ECL (Ajax as well as LOSC?) were raffled with the money going to Acorns - something like £20 a ticket. Hopefully, they will do the same again - better than an auction, IMO.

THE CURSE IS LIFTED! Wore the home shirt, one last chance, and I thought it was happening again.

I saw only one of the blue third shirts the whole game.

AND if the curse hadn't been lifted, you'd have just sat back and let LeeB take the blame for the defeat. >:(

You know you ripped it off at half time really hence the change of fortunes 😉
